Our home based program allows for flexibility and true individualization. We only host a maximum of 4 students at a time. Our program length varies as to a families need from one semester to a full year.
Our program is built around the idea that relationships when healthy can make all the difference in the world. We maximize this idea two ways, first through the integration into our home and next through the integration back into society.
When a young man first comes to us we are going to work together to understand the needs he has as well as the needs of his family and ours. We call this the Introduction into the family part of the program. We will ask that he is able to discuss why he is with us and begin to understand the structure of our home environment.
Upon successfully completing his work for that part of the program we will work on introduction into the community. This will be a time for him to see what healthy community ties look like. We begin volunteer work and attending community events. Further work toward the ideas of how he is a part of the world and what he is contributing will be done here.
After the mastery of doing well with us by his side we look at having more opportunities for our boys to show what they have learned during our immersion into the community part of the program. This is an opportunity for our young men to really show that they are using the skills they have in new ways. We continue to work on what drives our behavior, our role in a larger world and the impact we have on those around us.
Finally we work on a transition program piece. We begin to focus on what life out of the program will look like. Who have I become is a major focus here. What's next? College, home, work or any other myriad of possibilities exist and we work to calm the fears that arise and allow our boys to play to their strengths in situations like this.
Our Daily Schedule includes time for work, play and reflection. Our boys are taught to articulate what they are thinking in an appropriate manner and to use honesty as a guide for their lives.
